Title:
  Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/"

Status in “bash-completion” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “bash-completion” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/" quite annoying,
  shall expand to "prg $HOME/" listing all directories and files
  available for expansion, not creating an escaped string from $HOME. It
  should KEEP $HOME, not expanding it to your home directory as with
  some program named done!
